I am just back from BJ and spend a good amount of time around all of the "original" Shelbys, the Continuations and other replicas...Here is what I observed from that others were saying about the cars as they looked them over....All of the originals ( Pre 4000 series) ..all were positive and showed great interest in the car....on the 4000's- Once they saw the number there were comments like " Oh those are made in So Africa", "those are the fiberglass ones" , "Kirkham builds them for Shelby", and " Those are the ones that he had frames in Mexico"......In other words, if was not built in the 60's.... the majority felt it was a replica...that Shelby has signed on.....Just what I heard

I do not think that any 4000 series will every bring the money that a pre 4000 will bring...ever. Why? I would be interested to see what a top of the line Kirkham and a Top of the line 4000 would bring on the auction block? I think they would be within 20K of each other ..Today! who know what tommorrow will bring?
